You two are still salty. I simply asked a question; not even that - I just wondered. I thought that we buried the hatchet. Why are you trying to pick a fight?

Yeah, the quote I posted was from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I guess I was taking them at their word when they said "The signs pose little or no threat to public health and safety or security." and "If inhaled, it leaves the body relatively quickly." ...but what would they know...

From what I read, Tritium signs aren't hazardous. I wonder why they have so much regulation. "EXIT signs that glow in the dark often contain a radioactive gas called tritium. These signs do not require electricity or batteries and can be used where it is hard to install electric signs, such as...

Hey there and welcome! Best advice I can give is to practice.

I'm going to move on with my life, guys. Feel free to have the last word. Be well.

I did not say that.

I don't believe that I've been rude to anyone during this discussion, but it seems like a couple of you are taking this disagreement personally. I am happy to move on and discuss other things. No hard feelings.

Could this be the reason why this topic seems to agitate you so much? Okay, just so I have this straight, I'm only allowed to have opinions on the sign business. People like you and me can't weigh in on wars or medicine or government policies, because we aren't specialists. We aren't...

It's not expert knowledge. I am simply reading the statistics provided by credible sources and making an assessment. Since I have the statistics, I feel confident in my assessment. It is not about feeling anything; it is about looking at data and coming to a conclusion. Honestly, this is the...

Does it not have conversion software somewhere in the RIP process? I know we print in CMYK, but all my printers can handle RGB data (they just figure out how to put it all in gamut). I wish I had a clear quick answer for you. I'd just tinker with it. test print and tinker.... you know?

Is there a screw head underneath the cylinders that attach it to the wall? What do those supports look like from underneath? That's how I'd do it if I was building these things.

I like the one on the left, but you need red. Can you edit the file? I'd do that before I tried to change color balances or any print settings. What are you working with digitally? CMYK, RGB?

Yes. If I you don't have children or if your kids have already graduated, you should not pay any money towards those schools. Just like if you cancel your Amazon Prime, you should not be forced to continue to pay for the good of the people who still use it. My point was that good intentions...

For me, the principle of 'don't take money away from people against their will' trumps the public education system, that (as has been said before) costs too much and does not provide results. If a parent pulls their money out of a school because it is underperforming, that is a market signal...

I don't want to go too hard on teachers. A lot of them are probably highly skilled, well meaning people. Sometimes, when I make this argument I lose some nuance in my bombast, and it would be unfair for me to make this solely about teachers. And you're right, many kids are failed by their...

Here's another statistic. "Nationally, public school spending per student experienced the largest fiscal year-to-year increase since 2008, up 6.3% to $14,347, according to new data from the 2021 Annual Survey of School System Finances released today by the U.S. Census Bureau." So, every year...

I feel like police will complicate the issue. Is there another job you can think of that would make your point? I feel like I'd take the discussion on a tangent if we're talking about police. I saw that link. The 54 hours a week would include the occasional weekend day that make up the 250...

"In 2022, the average public school teacher salary was $66,397" Most teachers are signing contracts for 180 - 185 days of work every year "A typical teacher works about 54 hours a week [5 day period]" So, let's do the math. If a teacher works 54 hours every 5 days, and a teacher works 185...

I get the feeling we are talking past each other. Here's the foundation of my argument: "According to a study conducted in late April 2015 by the US Department of Education and the National Institute of Literacy, 32 million adults in the United States can't read above a fifth grade level, and...

You don't need to be an expert in a field to criticize someone who is. I've never been the Führer of Germany, does that mean I shouldn't criticize? I assume you criticize people who aren't sign people; it's the same concept. Lol. Go on. Never said I know all the answers. I don't have a...
